I suspect that lube will just make a mess of things Make sure all t hreads
are clean. Don't camera stores still sell those little plastic filter
wrenches, or did those go out with filters, unfortunate victim of digital?

Subject: [OM] (OM) Filters binding on the front of a lens
Hi all,
Today I got caught out unexpectedly.
A Hoya Circ-Pol filter got stuck on the end of my Zuiko 100/2 lens. I had
not screwed it on hard. And after a lot of trying suddenly I found the
'sweet spot'
and it came off as easy as pie.
Seems to me it is not perfectly round and there is some metal-to-metal
binding.
So I thought to myself: "lubrication is what's needed here - not Epoxy, or
one of those little grinders that Walt liked".
And as I reached for the 3-in1-oil I thought - hang on a minute there; not
so fast - won't even the smallest amount migrate to where it should not be?
Maybe a smidgen of candle-wax?
What say you all?
Brian Swale.
